Local TD and Tánaiste, Frances Fitzgerald has welcomed funding of over €3.1million towards road upgrades around Grange Castle Business Park by the Department of Transport.

Over €3.1million has been allocated to South Dublin County Council for roads in our local area including the Nangor and Adamstown Road Improvement Scheme.

“This grant which is supported by the IDA, will support industry and facilitate increased employment in the area of Grange Castle Business Park.

The development of the roads network surrounding the business park proves positive for the Lucan, Clondalkin, Newcastle and the surrounding areas.
